Shea Foaming Bath

Best if you want to: Submerge yourself in soft, pampering suds thanks to a rich, indulgent, soap-free bath soak with a mild, creamy scent.

Best for: very dry skin

How it works:

Community Trade shea butter has antioxidant vitamins A and E to help protect and nourish skin.
A cleansing ingredient derived from Community Trade cocoa butter acts a detergent that creates foaming cleansing bubbles.

The Body Shop® difference: Our Community Trade shea butter is produced by the 11 village groups who form the Tungteiya Shea Butter Association in northern Ghana. The women were all given grinding mills and nut cracking plants, donated by Dame Anita Roddick and The Body Shop Foundation, to help with the extraction of shea butter. The equipment reduces a backbreaking task to an extremely tiring one. (And you thought you had a hard job!) It also allows the women and their communities to process grains into flour. As a result of this strenuous work, the women now have a reliable source of income and a greater voice in village affairs.

For centuries the women of Ghana have used cocoa butter to moisturize and cool their skin in the African heat. Since 1995, The Body Shop has been buying cocoa beans from the Kuapa Kokoo company in Ghana, a fair trade co-operative with over 30,000 small-scale farmers. The money made by the co-operative enables the development of community projects such as schools and village wells in addition to providing the farmers with income to support their families.
